"Why would you ask that?" Ning Changxi looked up at her.
“I always feel like you don’t look very happy,” Su Yuan said, frowning.
Is there anything to be happy about?
"Of course! Being with the one you love is a truly joyful thing." Just like her and—
No, they definitely have to separate. The Seventh Prince dared to lay a hand on her, so he should bear the consequences.
"Since being with the one you love makes you happy, why do you drink yourself into oblivion?"
"I--"
"Or are you saying you never liked the Seventh Prince from the very beginning?"
Ning Changxi hit the nail on the head. "But if you don't like them, why did you try to separate the Seventh Prince and my aunt?"
It's undeniable that Song Zhi was snatched from other women.
But she didn't feel happy.
There's a heavy feeling in my heart.
Perhaps, as the Empress said, she didn't truly love the Seventh Prince. Being with him was merely out of habit.
"Your Majesty, do you have to hurt me like this?" Su Yuan said softly.
She spoke softly, but each word was enunciated clearly.
"Weren't you just stabbing me in the heart?"
Everyone knows that the emperor has many women.
As the empress, she not only had to refrain from jealousy and envy, but also had to advise the emperor to distribute his favors evenly and not to favor only one person.
"I can't accept this kind of thing." Su Yuan looked helpless. "Since you know that being an empress is like this, why did you still enter the palace?"
"I must have been bewitched for a moment," Ning Changxi said.
"Don't you want to change this kind of life? Since you're unhappy and miserable, you should change it." Su Yuan suddenly reached out and grasped Ning Changxi's hands. "Your father and I are friends, and I also hope to see you happy."
Ning Changxi: "..."
Why does this feel so strongly like a stepmother?
She was the kind of particularly difficult stepmother.
"Then how do you think I should change?" Ning Changxi suddenly raised his head and subtly withdrew his hand.
"Of course I'll go talk to the Emperor. Either he'll release me, or he'll only dote on me."
Su Yuan spoke as if it were perfectly reasonable.
Ning Changxi's lips curled slightly. "Why don't you go and put in a good word for me? The Emperor likes you so much, maybe he'll listen to what you say."
If we can really get the emperor to release her.
She'll definitely thank her properly. Of course, it's impossible for her to become her stepmother.
"Should I go and speak for him?" Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want me to go and speak for him? What if the Emperor really agrees? You won't be able to become Empress."
Many women like to put on an act. They may covet the position of empress, but they always pretend not to care. However, once their position is truly threatened, these women will become anxious.
“Then I’ll accept it.” Ning Changxi’s smile deepened.
"Alright then, for your father's sake, you should be treated a little better. I'll put in a good word for you later."
"Later?"
"The Emperor said he would come to find me for a drink later."
"Oh—" Ning Changxi nodded. The person he liked had finally entered the palace, so naturally he should spend more time with him. Who knows, they might develop feelings for each other as they spent more time together.
Ning Changxi expressed his understanding of this.
After saying this, Su Yuan secretly glanced at Ning Changxi.
Oh no, how could she have blurted that out? But the Emperor is indeed coming soon, and there's no way to hide it now, so it's better to be open about it.
On the contrary, it won't arouse any imagination.
Ning Changxi's reaction was rather bland.
"Your Majesty, that—"
"By the way, would you like some food and drinks?"
"What?"
"When enjoying drinks and conversation, food and drink are naturally needed. If you need them, just ask Xiao Xi. I go to bed early." So don't come looking for her.
Ning Changxi's meaning is very clear.
Aren't you coming along?
"No need."
Ning Changxi shook his head. "You can enjoy yourselves."
Her feelings for Song Zhuo have grown increasingly distant.
She wouldn't care what he wanted to do anymore.
"Oh, Empress Ning—" Do you really care about the Emperor?
How come she can't sense it at all?
As night fell, Song Zhuo arrived as promised.
Su Yuan was already waiting in the courtyard. The stone table in the courtyard was full of wine and dishes. Seeing the wine and dishes, Song Zhuo looked into Ning Changxi's room.
But the oil lamp had already gone out, and Ning Changxi had already gone to sleep.
"Changxi—doesn't she know I'll be coming tonight?"
"She knows, these dishes and drinks were prepared by her."
Did she know?
If you knew that, why did you still go to sleep?
"Come, Your Majesty, let me drink to drown my sorrows."
Su Yuan filled both of their glasses and they drank one cup each.
"Indeed, tonight I will drink with you until we're both drunk."
Hearing Su Yuan say this, Song Zhuo felt relieved for the time being. Well, since the Empress didn't care, why should he think about her at this time?
Su Yuanke was right in front of him.
The two of them drank back and forth, and quite a bit of alcohol went down their throats.
Before we knew it, the moon had risen high in the sky.
The moonlight shone on the two drunken people.
The two of them got closer and closer.
Under the moonlight, Su Yuan's face seemed to be glowing.
She has never liked wearing messy headdresses; her jet-black hair is casually draped over her shoulders, radiating a captivating luster.
